The Land Remembers Boxset

Official catalog of the National Pavilion of Lebanon at the 19th Venice biennale of Architecture, The Land Remembers invites us to explore alternative ways of healing and preserving the natural environment by harnessing local knowledge and the land intelligens. The content of this catalog confronts the deliberate destruction of Lebanon’s ecosystems and societies, drawing on the soil’s memory as a testament to resilience and renewal. The format of the memory box is an archive of the land’s richness, challenges, and potential, asking: How can we heal the land to build for future generations?
